Chainsmoker:
Hi all, I went and picked up a 93 in pieces yesterday for 500 bucks! I have been racing a cr500 for the better part of two years now and just finished up an afc build using an 08 crf250 frame and I love it. My love for big bore smokers is color blind and with no project going on I figured what do I have to lose and there is nothing better than massaging an abused old smoker into a thumper eater. Anyways I was going over the pictures the guy sent me when I inquired about the bike and "holy 2-piece clutch cover" what did I get my hands on here?

The bike is complete with a freshly painted frame and a new top end kit included. I think the cylinder is goning to need re-plated and the bottom end is getting new seals, bearings, and rod. Any advice on what brand to use for this stuff would be appriciated, for example, you couldn't pay me to use weisco or hotrods cranks in my cr, similar scenario for the KX im assuming, OEM is best  but wouldn't mind saving a buck.  Thanks in advance for all the knowledge I will be mooching.

Chainsmoker:
A Clymer was included but im still going to find the original, anyone got a manual for a 93 in PDF they would be willing to email me? I looked over the top end rebuild procedure posted and cleaning up the transfers and bridges doesn't look to be to hard with a steady hand. I have never had a crank balanced before due to the steel liner on the cr's, won't going from A-B-C-D pistons mess up the balance? lastly the clutch cover isn't stock correct? any ideas what it is off of or where it is from?
